Pincushions are very useful accessories for all embroiderers. They actually are some simple little cushions made of filled fabric where you can range your needles and pins. They are a really must-have! Some pincushions are already made like this practical Wristle pincushion or this magnetic version, Grabbit magnetic Pincushion, both by Prym. But you can also create your own hand-made pincushion, by recurring to several techniques like embroidery and patchwork. Here is a very original 1817 Hanging Pocket by Nickyscreations who presents to us also a series of little cushions with a German taste: here are the Yo-Yo Pincushion , four models inspired by an old sampler from 1853. Here are also some sweet (but calories free) cakes-pincushions by The Cat's Whiskers, the Cupcakes Glorious, and a romantic Rose Heart Pincushion by Ewe&Eye&Friends. And if you have not found the pincushion which best suits you, you can find a lot of ideas for a personal pincushion in the book Pincushions by Leisure Arts. Some more instructions are available in Italian on our article on biscornus.
